Welcome to Lockdown Nuggets. I'm your host, Matt Moore. Thanks for joining us. Today's episode

brought to you by BuiltBar. Go toiltBar.com, use promo code locked on

and get $10 off your order of awesome stuff. We are going to build some stuff today. We're

going to build some counterfactuals, hypotheticals, which I love. I love talking about stuff

that didn't happen because usually in the NBA, what happened was that the Lakers won. And so

I love these kind of conversations and we're

going to get into all sorts of them. I were doing this whole series of like what ifs

for franchises throughout the Lockdown Network. And when I was like okay this sounds

interesting I want to do this, who can I talk to? The first person they came to

mind was a King of Thornton, Jeff Morton. Jeff's been in the NBA Denver blogging scene forever. He's one of the

original Denver Stiffs. He has been all around. He's the host of the Colorado Sports Guys podcast,

does his own Mortcast, one of the great guys. He's really close and tied in with the organization.

He knows everybody because he's basically the team's historian.

Like if you want to know about Nuggets history, talk to Jeff Morton,

and he's going to be able to tell you quite a bit about it.

He's got great perspective on the 95s Denver Nuggets after Lafonso Ellis's injury. We're going to talk

about the 2009 series because that's the biggest what if I think of franchise history. But we're

also going to talk about 2013 and everything that happened after. So it's a great conversation.

Hope you enjoy it. Here's Jeff Morton.

All right, Jeff, thanks for coming on.

So there was nobody in the world I could think of that would be better for this episode

to talk about great Nuggets what-ifs in history.
